One angle measure is an isosceles triangle is 100 degrees.what is the measure of each of the other two angles \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "The sum of the angles is 180. \n" ); document.write( "The 100 degree angle cannot be a base angle as then \n" ); document.write( "the sum of the base angles would be 200 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "The 100 must be the vertex angle. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Let the base angles be \"x\" and \"x\": \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "x + x + 100 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "2x = 80 \n" ); document.write( "x = 40 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "Each of the base angles is 40 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
